We are happy to have hosted the Rio Mobile Hackathon here at our office. The event was a complete success! Over 20 participants from all over the country joined the event. They were motivated by their common interest in mobile technology entrepreneurship.

There were two days of intense competition: on the first day, the programming languages Lua and Corona were basicly presented to the competitors, who had never used the softwares previously. Following this, the participants organized themselves into teams and began developing the apps.

On the second day, the activities began at the early hour of 9 am. With technical support provided by Red Beach Games, the programming ran perfectly during the whole day. Finally, at 7 pm the teams presented their apps, and the groups cast their votes for Best App and Best Game developed during the hackathon.

The award for Best Game was given to Gosma (Goom in English), which is “an endless runner game in which the main character has to dodge the objects taking into account that each deviation changes the direction of gravity inside the game.”

The team that won the title of Best App was Toalha Econômica (Economic Towel in English), an app that enables expense management to help users control their finances.

If you’re interested in watching the winners’ presentation, you can check it on the event website.

We at 21212 congratulate all who joined the event, and thank Read Beach Games for organizing the Rio Mobile Hackathon!
